Sorry for the delay everbody. Lots of reasons for it, we had a friend from Seattle in town that we had to show around, and also laziness came into play.
We’re moving on up to podcast 11, a bit of a longer podcast for you. We ended up covering the likes of Google Voice, Verizons App Store plans and some other topical goodies.

We finally made it to Podcast 10, we counted all the podcasts, and we technically are at 21, if you count the two video podcasts that I’m still struggling to encode properly.
So please enjoy one of our most loosely planned podcasts. We ended up talking a lot about some of the things we would like out of Android, plus a little bit about Chrome OS and what that could potentially mean for operating systems and mostly Linux in the future.

In this exciting installment, Scott gives his impressions on the Pre. You might be surprised by what he has to say.
After the break, Scott also gives his impressions of the G1, which he now owns. That’s right: two phones, one week. Is it any surprise, then, that this week offered nothing in the way of posts?
P.S. This post was created entirely on the G1.

“We haz a Pre!” Scott proclaims.
And that about sums it up. We have a Palm Pre that Eric has been living with for a few days and has obviously mixed feelings about, to the point that he can barely explain what he’s feeling. Also in other news, this device called the iPhone 3GS came out, a few of you might have heard about it, nothing big, we talk a little bit about it.

On this week’s podcast: Scott drinks a bit too much on an empty stomach, we talk about the 3GS, and praise the wonders of Google. Basically, it’s pretty par for the course for us.

Now time for another After Smoke Break podcast. This time we try to figure out why someone who could obviously benefit from a smartphone just doesn’t seem to want one. We basically were stumped.

We’re back talking about cellphones again, so all 3 of you listening can rejoice in a return to our proper subject matter. We’ve got the Palm Pre, iPhone OS 3.0 and the iPhone 3GS.
Enjoy and expect the after break portion up shortly.

Here’s the second E3 podcast we got for all you guys. We did this pretty quickly, just went over some of the games we checked out and gave a few impressions, overall I had a blast, but I’m exhausted. Enjoy!
The Mobile Ping - E3 Day 2 Podcast (.mp3)
Check us out tomorrow at some point (possibly early morning Saturday) for our final E3 podcast. We will probably be recording it in the car and uploading it to the site at a Denny’s or something, so it should be pretty exciting.

As you may have noticed we are at E3 2009, and yes we know it’s not entirely related, we are pretty big gamers and this is a huge religious experience for us. So, we are going to be posting some podcasts while we are here.
So, without further ado…

Here we are again with our fifth podcast. This was an interesting podcast, we didn’t have much structure at all before we started so discussion tended to bounce around quite a bit.
However, I think it’s one of the more entertaining podcasts, and if you stick through the hour and a half we end up coming to quite an epiphany, if we do say so ourselves.

I edited this on our way to Los Angeles for E3, so forgive any apparent hastiness, I was bouncing around in a car. Also, I uploaded this on an AT&T mobile broadband connection, and I must say I’m very impressed, I had a consistent upload speed of 125kb/s to my webhosting. Getting a reliable connection in the first place is another story though.

How could we resist recording a last minute podcast and editing it in 5 minutes when we read about the leaks coming in from Engadget. What the hell happened at AT&T? PalmOS? Android? Look to the sky, it’ll hit you in the face on the way down.
Also, Scott does the unthinkable and defends Apple and their pricing on the iPhone.

Finally here we go with the After Smoke Break portion of the fourth podcast. Sorry I was a bit late on this one, lots of stuff went on for my birthday, and my computer was out of commission for a little bit.
Anyway, listening through this podcast is actually pretty dated considering a lot of the news released today throughout the blogosphere.

Stay tuned for the next podcast, back to MONO, stereo was an unfortunate experiment.
Catch ya later!

Finally, it’s just Scottastic and I doing our fourth podcast, yet our first podcast on our own. We wanted to try to talk about a few ideas, in a way that we might present them towards Apple/Google/Palm, that goal didn’t last too long. But hey, it’s in STEREO! and it’s twice the download size, worth it? kinda.

Here we have a special ranty podcast. We wrapped up our thoughts on the major smart phone OS’s so we decided to have a discussion about cell phone rate plans, and what should be done as text and data plans overtake the importance of voice plans. Oh and Documents To Go on the G1 is like the greatest thing ever.

Concluding our discussion on the smartphone OS’s; Symbian, Android, WebOS and alittle bit of Palm OS is in there for good measure. But we didn’t stop there, no, we couldn’t resist from blasting LG and their mediocre phones.

After giving Blackberry a few swift kicks followed by a few tender reflective kisses we took a break and decided to give Windows Mobile the Mobile Ping treatment.
Also, you have Ransom Rath to thank for making a couple theme songs for us to use. We’ll work on revising a more final version of our liners, but I decided to throw in some quick cuts of the raw tracks. Thanks Ransom!

It took a little longer than I expected, but we’ve got the second Mobile Ping Podcast now up for your listening enjoyment. I just moved and don’t have internet yet (I know, how can I live?), so I’m relying on stealing bandwidth from a local coffee shop.
Anyway, this podcast is going to be part of a series of discussions going over how we feel about the current state of all the smart phone operating systems, and what their future may have in store for them.
First up we tear apart Blackberry OS. Enjoy!

We ended up covering a lot more for our first podcast than we initially intended. So after taking a quick smoke break the ranting continued. This may be a regular occurance or it may not, we haven’t decided yet.
If you enjoyed the first podcast and want more, or want to jump straight into the thick of our rant, you’ll definitely enjoy this one.
